[00:00:08] Speaker A: Donate? [00:00:08] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:00:09] Speaker A: Hey, Chris, can you toss me my glassies? [00:00:12] Speaker C: Which one do you wear? [00:00:13] Speaker A: Whatever. They're all the same, right? [00:00:14] Speaker B: No, no, there's a one and a two. [00:00:16] Speaker A: I need a two, please. I'm probably a 2.5 now. I'm blind as a bat. My health is deteriorating. [00:00:24] Speaker B: Got the old wanker squint going on. [00:00:26] Speaker A: Yeah, I got the wanker squit squint. [00:00:28] Speaker B: Then the nuns tell you touching yourself would. Would. What's it deteriorate your eyesight? [00:00:39] Speaker A: No, they. No, I don't. I didn't. I didn't go to the nuns or. I didn't have the nuns for Catholic school. I went to public school. My kids all go to Catholic school, but there's really no nuns around anymore. No one's joining the nunnery. Is that what it's called, a nunnery? [00:00:55] Speaker C: Yeah, it's called a nunnery. [00:00:56] Speaker A: Okay. [00:00:56] Speaker B: There's still nuns. My cousins had to go to Catholic school. And they had. Some of the nuns there were notoriously fierce. [00:01:04] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah. [00:01:06] Speaker B: Old school. [00:01:07] Speaker C: We had Sister Patricia at ours, and she had bangs that would hang down in front of her habit, which is the hat that they wear. [00:01:14] Speaker B: Yes. [00:01:14] Speaker C: And she would also play basketball. And one time somebody famously knocked off her habit and she was bald underneath with just the bangs hanging down. [00:01:20] Speaker A: Oh, no, she was mean Dickie. For a habit. The habit Dickie. [00:01:24] Speaker C: Yeah. And she was basketball nun. Yeah, I know. [00:01:27] Speaker B: What was she wearing when she was basketball? [00:01:30] Speaker C: Just her nun garb. [00:01:31] Speaker A: Just those black shoes. [00:01:34] Speaker C: Yeah. She would just change into sneakers and play basketball. [00:01:38] Speaker B: That's quite impressive. [00:01:39] Speaker C: Yeah. We also had Sister Marie Gerard, who would go on her walks and she would stop by while we were playing street hockey and talk to us about Clockwork Orange. [00:01:46] Speaker A: The movie? [00:01:46] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:01:47] Speaker A: Or the book? [00:01:48] Speaker C: No, the movie. Yeah. We hadn't seen it yet, I think. No. [00:01:51] Speaker A: Maybe she was hip then. [00:01:52] Speaker C: She was. She was. She was really cool. [00:01:54] Speaker B: You know Clockwork Orange was banned in England? [00:01:56] Speaker A: Yes, I did. I think it still is. [00:01:58] Speaker B: I probably told. [00:01:59] Speaker A: I don't think they've lifted that ban. [00:02:00] Speaker B: I think I heard that recently Kubrick implemented the ban. And so people would get on the ferry and go to France to watch it, just to say they'd watched it and then come back. [00:02:10] Speaker A: Yeah. There was something about how that ban actually in the. In the press around it just did wonders for the film, you know, like, oh, we gotta see this. [00:02:17] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah. It always does. [00:02:19] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:02:20] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:02:22] Speaker A: Well, speaking of nuns last celebrating. Celebrated last night, my son's confirmation with the. The bishop. [00:02:29] Speaker C: Congratulations. [00:02:29] Speaker A: Yeah. You know what that means? [00:02:31] Speaker B: A confirmation Chop a bit of his. [00:02:34] Speaker C: That's a circumcision. [00:02:35] Speaker A: No, that has a circumcision. Yeah. You don't. You don't understand it because you are uncircumcised. [00:02:41] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:02:42] Speaker C: What is. What. What is confirmed during the confirmation? [00:02:45] Speaker A: It's one of the sacraments, of course. We have baptism, first communion, and then confirmation. It is recognizing that. Now the. The child who's a young man. It's sort of like a bar mitzvah. It's nothing like a bar mitzvah, but it's. It's the same idea, similar rite of passage. [00:03:04] Speaker B: What did he have to jack off? And I am a man now. [00:03:09] Speaker A: Disgusting. Make me think about my kid jacking. [00:03:12] Speaker B: See my broth? [00:03:13] Speaker A: Yeah, Jack off for the. [00:03:15] Speaker B: Remember, you used to say broth all the time. [00:03:17] Speaker A: Yeah, I sprayed my broth. Spray my broth. That was good. I probably got out of this terrible. [00:03:25] Speaker B: I don't think you got it out of this. He used to say it about 18 times on stage. [00:03:31] Speaker A: Yeah, that was it. [00:03:34] Speaker B: And then I found a book called the Broth of a Boy. I bought it to you. [00:03:41] Speaker C: What was it about? [00:03:42] Speaker A: The broth. I don't remember. You gave it to me. [00:03:45] Speaker B: I think so. Yeah. It's. Found it. [00:03:47] Speaker A: The Broth of a Boy. [00:03:48] Speaker B: Come on. [00:03:49] Speaker A: You never buy a book. [00:03:51] Speaker B: Google it. [00:03:53] Speaker C: Don't Google that. [00:03:54] Speaker A: No, don't. Anyway, so much for my good news. You just ruined that. [00:04:00] Speaker B: Bill. Bill on stage. So I. [00:04:03] Speaker A: Okay. [00:04:05] Speaker B: Shot my broth the other day. Full. A full cup of it. Broth? [00:04:12] Speaker A: Is that what my act was? That sucks. [00:04:14] Speaker B: Yeah, it was just like. It's just a really shitty impression of Norm MacDonald. [00:04:18] Speaker A: Yeah. You know, got to do an impression of somebody. He's not a bad one. Right. I brought something for you guys. I always bring gifts. [00:04:32] Speaker C: You do? [00:04:33] Speaker A: And I'm glad that we're archiving it here, memorializing it here today. I've brought you my newest favorite thing. And I want to share it with you, and I want it to be your favorite thing. What are you looking at? Why are you looking at me funny? [00:04:45] Speaker B: Bought the same car as I've got. [00:04:46] Speaker A: It's not a Carhartt. [00:04:48] Speaker B: This is a. Oh, it's Nike. [00:04:49] Speaker A: It's a Nike winter coat. Remember you were talking about the hood? [00:04:54] Speaker B: Oh, the hood. It's that one. Dolphins. Dolphins play football, not basketball. [00:05:00] Speaker A: High school jackets. A high school jacket. Whitney Young Dolphins basketball jacket. Team issued. Team issued. Not from the Thrift. [00:05:09] Speaker B: No. All right. [00:05:11] Speaker A: As I was saying, I brought you something. [00:05:14] Speaker C: What? [00:05:15] Speaker A: You want it? [00:05:15] Speaker C: What? [00:05:16] Speaker A: What? I'm gonna give you. Why are you putting your hand out like that? [00:05:19] Speaker B: You said you were gonna give it. [00:05:20] Speaker A: I'm gonna. Okay, so I've head over heels right now for something and I want you to have it. And I hope you're also very excited about it. It's part of my everyday. I just bought a case of these last night. Mentos. Oh, I love those mint candies. Get your own roll because I have a gross of them ready. [00:05:41] Speaker C: Yep. I used to eat these all the time when I was a kid. [00:05:45] Speaker A: God, I love Mentos. [00:05:46] Speaker C: They're the fresh maker. [00:05:47] Speaker A: Yeah, they're a nice mint, but I love the texture. It's like a. It's a hard shell. You bite in and it's chewy inside. [00:05:53] Speaker C: I think it's going to be. [00:05:54] Speaker A: Enjoy one. Enjoy one. [00:05:55] Speaker B: Didn't you ever have the schoolyard rumor that mints made you infertile? [00:05:59] Speaker A: Mint? Yeah, of any kind of mint. [00:06:02] Speaker B: Mint. [00:06:02] Speaker C: They took your broth away. [00:06:03] Speaker A: No, I didn't. [00:06:04] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:06:05] Speaker A: Sterile your broth. No. Geez, I hope. Well, it doesn't matter. [00:06:10] Speaker B: Take my broth away. Yeah. [00:06:11] Speaker A: Take my brothel. [00:06:13] Speaker B: You can do a whole album with breath related replacements. [00:06:18] Speaker A: Yeah. Changing the word. So have you ever had a Mento? [00:06:22] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:06:23] Speaker A: Yeah. Okay. Well, they don't really. They're not. You don't. You can't find them as well anymore? [00:06:28] Speaker C: No, they're not all over the place. [00:06:29] Speaker A: No. Mentos gum has Mentos, right? [00:06:32] Speaker C: And they're not supposed to be gum. No, it's supposed to be almost gum, but then it goes away. [00:06:36] Speaker A: No. Why is everything turning into gum? [00:06:38] Speaker C: Right. Everything's turning into gum. [00:06:39] Speaker A: Sour Patch gum. [00:06:41] Speaker C: Do they have that? [00:06:42] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. [00:06:42] Speaker A: Like everything is. Is being morphed into a gum. [00:06:46] Speaker C: Big gum. [00:06:47] Speaker A: What are you looking at now? Broth? [00:06:50] Speaker B: AI. No, regular mints won't make you sterile, but some studies suggest excessive consumption of strong mint extracts like spearmint or peppermint might negatively impact male fertility by lowering testosterone. That's what you're turning. You're turning into a lass, right? [00:07:11] Speaker A: I didn't know, but I guess I'm not worried about it. [00:07:14] Speaker B: I thought you said you were one of the things. [00:07:16] Speaker A: Oh, no, I said I'm bisexual. I'm bisexual. [00:07:20] Speaker B: Right. [00:07:20] Speaker C: I used to have about a 10 a day Altoid. Those are very strong addiction. Yeah, yeah. They're curiously strong as a matter of. [00:07:28] Speaker A: Fact, as it said. Well, I'm not worried about fertility as I've sired four children, but I don't want to lower my testosterone. [00:07:38] Speaker C: So that's why you're Starting the Mentos now. [00:07:40] Speaker B: Your broth days are done. [00:07:43] Speaker C: Happy birthday. [00:07:45] Speaker B: Happy birthday to Bill. Okay, I'm trying to think of broth jokes now. [00:07:56] Speaker A: Nobody wants to hear broth jokes. Did you try. Let me have one. I ate all mine today. I know, but I want one. Oh, you want to get re. Gift them. [00:08:09] Speaker B: All right. I nearly used the non PC phrase there. But for someone who gives something and then takes it back. [00:08:20] Speaker A: Yeah, you can't say that anymore. [00:08:21] Speaker B: Yep. [00:08:24] Speaker A: What's going on with you? Do we have any more episodes in the can or is this one going right on? [00:08:28] Speaker C: I think we're dry now, aren't we? [00:08:30] Speaker B: Yeah, I think. I think. I think the last one today. [00:08:33] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:08:34] Speaker B: And now we're. [00:08:35] Speaker C: That's why it was yesterday. [00:08:36] Speaker B: That's why I was pushing to have the commitment and tenacity to do two today. But luckily we can't anyway, because I have to. I gotta shoot. [00:08:44] Speaker A: You know what else? You gotta bugger off. [00:08:45] Speaker C: Why? [00:08:46] Speaker B: Unlike you. [00:08:47] Speaker A: No, I gotta go. All right. I'm gonna shoot my broth. Yeah, spray my broth is what I used to say. Spray it. [00:08:54] Speaker C: Next year we should do our Christmas present exchange well ahead of time because it was a very Christmas themed episode that was released yesterday and, you know, I didn't hear it. And when it's January 14th or whatever. Whatever it is, you're just like, I don't need to. I don't. Christmas is over. [00:09:09] Speaker B: We gotta do two next week. [00:09:10] Speaker C: We gotta do two next week. [00:09:11] Speaker B: You gotta get a few in the bag. [00:09:12] Speaker C: Let's do our Valentine's Day episode next week. We can release it on Valentine's Day week. [00:09:17] Speaker A: That's a good idea. [00:09:18] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:09:18] Speaker A: We got to get ahead of these. [00:09:19] Speaker C: Mm. Get ahead of the holidays. [00:09:21] Speaker A: That's smart. [00:09:21] Speaker B: Well, yeah, that's why I asked, but you said you weren't committed enough that. [00:09:26] Speaker A: I to doing two episodes. [00:09:27] Speaker B: Mm. [00:09:29] Speaker A: Why can't I do two? I don't know. I've been. I've been real busy.

I like to keep it boutique like, you know. I don't want to become a big corporate syndicate, you know. [00:10:22] Speaker B: You're playing the supply demand game. [00:10:25] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:10:25] Speaker B: Keep a line out front juggling the supply demand balls. [00:10:28] Speaker A: It's good. Good word of mouth. [00:10:30] Speaker C: Just like Clockwork Orange. You know, if you can't see it, you want to see it. You know, if you can't get in, you want to do it. [00:10:36] Speaker A: Right. They don't even know why. [00:10:37] Speaker C: Right. [00:10:38] Speaker A: They don't even want it. [00:10:39] Speaker C: I gotta try. [00:10:40] Speaker A: If I can't get in, I got to get in. So I've been very busy with that.

No. Why not? Have you ever been to one? [00:11:21] Speaker A: Garbage. Yeah. [00:11:21] Speaker C: So much fun. [00:11:22] Speaker A: Are you joking me? [00:11:23] Speaker C: They blow off fireworks inside. [00:11:25] Speaker B: People always say, oh, it's fun. But it. It's not like you expect cheesy, you know? [00:11:31] Speaker A: Yeah, they do a Savannah Bananas. [00:11:33] Speaker B: Like sending out a line that's all dwarfs and just doing. They do that, Stu. No, but I'm saying that's what you expect when people say, oh, yeah, it's minor league. They do crazy stuff. When you get there, it's like it blows. Really? Yeah. [00:11:46] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:11:47] Speaker C: I have fun. [00:11:49] Speaker A: Okay. Well, I do want to do that hockey game. [00:11:51] Speaker C: Yeah. So do. [00:11:52] Speaker B: I know. We'll do it. [00:11:53] Speaker A: We'll do it. [00:11:54] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:11:54] Speaker B: He did his. [00:11:56] Speaker C: I was just at a hockey. I did three NHL teams in a week in three different NHL cities and saw two of the teams twice. [00:12:03] Speaker A: Madison Square Garden, United Center. What was the third one? [00:12:06] Speaker C: St. Louis. Oh, I don't know what they call the arena. [00:12:08] Speaker A: So. [00:12:08] Speaker B: Used to be trade. [00:12:10] Speaker C: Scott trade. Yeah, I think it might still be. [00:12:12] Speaker B: I went to that, but it might have been knocked down and rebuilt. Since then? I'm not sure. [00:12:16] Speaker A: I think so. Still there, right by the train station. Right when you get up the Amtrak. It's right there. [00:12:20] Speaker C: Yeah. Yeah, Exactly. [00:12:21] Speaker A: Yep. [00:12:22] Speaker B: Close enough to throw a nail at Chris Pronger. Do you remember that? The biggest Colossalist piece of shit. Big boy Chris Pronger. Cheap skate. Cheap shot. Cheap skate. That's me. Cheap shot in. Just low class. [00:12:40] Speaker A: You'd love him if he was on your team. [00:12:42] Speaker B: That's. I don't think. You think he's one of them. I think he used to do things like, you know, refuse to shake hands. [00:12:49] Speaker C: Yeah, he was a real. [00:12:50] Speaker B: He was not like. [00:12:52] Speaker A: Oh, hard. [00:12:53] Speaker B: Yeah. Not like he wasn't like one of them, where you're like, oh, you. You want him on your team because. [00:12:58] Speaker C: He'S great, but like a Sean Avery. Like, you'd want a Sean Avery on your team, but you hate him otherwise. [00:13:04] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:13:04] Speaker A: Bob Probert. He's a goon. [00:13:05] Speaker C: Yes. [00:13:06] Speaker A: Was Pronger a goon? [00:13:07] Speaker B: Pronger wasn't a goon, was he? He was more. [00:13:09] Speaker C: Pronger wasn't a goon. No, he was more of a rat. He would be known as a rat. [00:13:14] Speaker A: Big rat. [00:13:15] Speaker C: A big rat. [00:13:16] Speaker A: He's a big guy. Well, I don't want to bring this. I was, you know, but I just remembered. How's. How's the missus doing after that playoff game? I was thinking about it. I didn't want to text you. [00:13:31] Speaker B: That was a. [00:13:31] Speaker A: So my wife was even thinking about her, feeling bad for her, like, oh, Heather must be dying right now. You must. She must have been so excited in the first half, right? Because they're up 21 3. [00:13:40] Speaker B: I had to be here, which was great. I was like, I have to live through this. So I could see what was happening, because unfortunately, I had to turn our goddamn lobby into a sports bar and put a. Put on a telly in it for Nate Craig's people. [00:13:55] Speaker A: Oh, that's right. Because he was here that night. [00:13:57] Speaker B: Yeah. And so I forgot. Yeah. I walk out, and I'm like, oh, this half time, you're like, this game's over. It's done. Bears are dead. It's done. And then they came back, and then I walked to the telly again, and they're back in the hole. And then just as I left was the last Green Bay touchdown. And I'm like, oh, this. This is safe. I'm gonna drive home, make love to Heather. It'll be. [00:14:22] Speaker A: It'll be packers jersey. [00:14:25] Speaker B: It'll be over, and she'll just be happy. And then I walk in the door. I look at the score. I'm like, what the. It's a game again. [00:14:33] Speaker A: And then she's got a rifle in her mouth. [00:14:35] Speaker B: And then the pricks go. I mean, no, at that point, she's. [00:14:37] Speaker A: You grab it. [00:14:38] Speaker B: No, she's just fuming at that point. Like. I mean, Green Bay was still ahead, but she was. [00:14:43] Speaker A: She could feel what was coming. [00:14:45] Speaker B: Yeah, she. It's one of them where you, like. I think she knew down, like, I know how. [00:14:50] Speaker A: This couldn't stop it. [00:14:52] Speaker B: This is gonna end bad. And it did. [00:14:54] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:14:54] Speaker B: And afterwards, I think I just squeezed her hand and said, oh, you know, I'm sorry, whatever. Because normally I don't say anything with sports losses. I'm over sports now. I think you're. You two are still into sport, but I'm not. I'm through that now. [00:15:14] Speaker C: I enjoy sports. I think it's one of the last real things we have. [00:15:17] Speaker A: I don't know about competition. [00:15:19] Speaker B: Bread and bread in circuses. [00:15:22] Speaker A: What do you mean by that old timey term? [00:15:25] Speaker B: That's a quote from Nero or something. Give them bread in circuses and they shall not revolt. [00:15:30] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Opiate for the masses type of thing. [00:15:34] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. But anyway. Anyway, she was. After the game was over, she sort of went silent for like a minute. And I'm standing. What do I say? Do I say something? Do I not say something? [00:15:47] Speaker A: You want to make love? Take your mind up the game, Spray my broth. [00:15:54] Speaker B: And you know what I always say, though, is what I always say after losses, and I think it's. I think she hated it when I first said it and hated him more every time, so. No, no. The team that I grew up around, I was almost born at the stadium. [00:16:13] Speaker A: What team is that? [00:16:14] Speaker B: Life. The Coventry Bees Speedway racing team. [00:16:17] Speaker A: Okay. Everybody loves them. [00:16:19] Speaker B: I. I raced in the juniors, which is like, I'm almost touching the. [00:16:25] Speaker A: You're almost on the Bees. [00:16:26] Speaker B: I'm almost on the Bees. [00:16:28] Speaker A: Wow. [00:16:28] Speaker B: And, you know, so that would be like you playing for the Patriots or whatever. [00:16:33] Speaker A: Wow. [00:16:33] Speaker B: Yeah. So. But then the team is now destroyed. It got bought by someone who basically deliberately destroyed it, which they don't exist anymore. [00:16:43] Speaker A: The Country Bees racing team. [00:16:45] Speaker B: The only good thing is they died after my dad passed away, which would have broken. [00:16:50] Speaker A: He loved the Bees. [00:16:50] Speaker B: Yeah. And so I always say to her, well, the good thing with the packers is you're never gonna wake up one morning and find they don't exist anymore. And trust me, no, that's. If you're a sports fan, that's the Worst it can be. [00:17:08] Speaker A: And that can happen. Yeah. [00:17:09] Speaker C: I could also see how that's not reassuring, comforting at all. [00:17:15] Speaker A: Your team is not going to dissolve, so don't worry about that. [00:17:18] Speaker C: Oh, thanks. [00:17:19] Speaker B: Your team will always be there. [00:17:23] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:17:24] Speaker B: To win or lose, it doesn't matter. But you won't wake up and go, fuck me, I don't have a team anymore. [00:17:29] Speaker C: At least you don't have it as bad as I do. [00:17:30] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:17:30] Speaker B: Yeah. Yep. [00:17:32] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:17:32] Speaker B: Well, because the packers is the only Yank team you can say that about. [00:17:39] Speaker A: That's true. Because they are owned by all the fans, really. Right. They're all. [00:17:44] Speaker B: Every other. Every other American sports franchise. [00:17:47] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:17:48] Speaker B: Could be gone. [00:17:49] Speaker A: Does she own any shares of the. The team? [00:17:51] Speaker B: I think a brother does. [00:17:52] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:17:55] Speaker B: Who was the one? Was it Baltimore Colts? Just. [00:17:58] Speaker A: Yeah. Middle of the night. [00:18:00] Speaker C: Middle of the night. [00:18:01] Speaker B: Middle of the goddamn night. [00:18:02] Speaker A: Yeah. Woke up, next day, they're gone wild. Is that. [00:18:06] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:18:07] Speaker A: Yeah. Well, I'm sorry for her, but, you know, here in Chicago, we're rather happy about it. You know, Moving on to the big game this weekend. Any predictions? Bears gonna keep it rolling? [00:18:21] Speaker C: I think the Bears will. Yeah. They're. I think they're gonna win at home. [00:18:24] Speaker A: You know, cold's gonna be very cold. [00:18:26] Speaker C: The LA's coming to town. You know, Matthew Stafford's used to the. Well, he played in Detroit, which was in. You know. [00:18:31] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:18:32] Speaker C: But I was watching something this morning on wgn. They were talking about his stats in the cold and not. Doesn't seem to affect him very much, but I think he's a little banged up, so maybe it will. [00:18:40] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:18:41] Speaker B: God, I hope they lose. For what? Shaden Freud is the only joy I have fucking left in this life. [00:18:51] Speaker A: Just other people's misery is your joy. [00:18:54] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:18:54] Speaker A: That's nice. Well, then you might enjoy this bit of news. Sad news for the show. Our show. I got a notice this morning that our sponsor, Begain Construction. [00:19:08] Speaker C: No. [00:19:10] Speaker A: Has pulled their sponsorship from the show. [00:19:13] Speaker B: Is it my smugness? It was my smugness did it, right? [00:19:17] Speaker A: No. No, I wish it were. [00:19:19] Speaker C: Was it because I asked if they were real? [00:19:21] Speaker A: No, it's apparently the last episode, whatever was released yesterday. I don't remember what that was. [00:19:26] Speaker C: Rodney. [00:19:27] Speaker B: Yeah, Rodney. [00:19:28] Speaker A: The Rodney episode. He sent in a couple things saying, I don't do just backsplashes. Stop saying I'm a backsplash company. I guess in yesterday's or the last spot. I said that for your. You want to get a new backsplash or have your faucet fixed? This guy didn't care for that. And he said, cease and desist. I'm not supporting the show anymore. [00:19:51] Speaker C: So he's not even gonna let you. Even though he does other things. You know, at least he. [00:19:56] Speaker A: He's above backsplashes, this man. His company is. Wait, they. He does high end homes? [00:20:02] Speaker B: Roth splashes? [00:20:03] Speaker A: No. Does high end above the headboard? Yes. [00:20:08] Speaker B: Tiling above the headboard. Roth splash. [00:20:11] Speaker A: No. [00:20:12] Speaker C: Front splashes. [00:20:13] Speaker A: Yeah. So, yeah, we don't have a. Some. What do we need one. One more here for just, you know, for old time's sake. [00:20:22] Speaker B: Are you sure it wasn't my smugness? [00:20:24] Speaker A: No, he didn't like that. He didn't care for that either. Yeah, right. [00:20:28] Speaker C: But he was willing to. [00:20:29] Speaker A: He put up with that. [00:20:30] Speaker C: Put up with it. [00:20:30] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:20:31] Speaker A: So for the last time, for all your home remodel needs, you want a new home, a high end home, your basement refinished. And if you need a backsplash, you can do that. But he doesn't do just backsplashes and leaky faucets. He will build you a home from scratch with all high end fixtures. Game construction. [00:20:54] Speaker C: Why are you still promoting him if he pulled? [00:20:56] Speaker A: Well, I felt bad, you know, I. [00:20:57] Speaker C: Want to give one. [00:20:58] Speaker A: Free one. Yeah, that was a free one. [00:21:00] Speaker C: Just as an apology. [00:21:01] Speaker A: So we're looking for new sponsors. If anyone out there is interested in sponsoring the program. [00:21:05] Speaker C: Mentos, we're looking your direction. [00:21:07] Speaker A: Yeah. So for now, we'll be sponsored by Bill's Whiffling Camp. Come on down to Lincoln park this summer and play some wiffle ball with Bill and the boys. [00:21:18] Speaker B: We've got sign on now and get told you're too late. No spots left. [00:21:24] Speaker A: Not many spots left, but go to everybody whs.com and get on our wait list. All right, all right. [00:21:35] Speaker B: Okay, let's review the comedian your. [00:21:37] Speaker A: The comedian comedian. [00:21:39] Speaker B: The Mrs. You. Your Mrs. Told us to review. [00:21:42] Speaker A: Yes, she's been eagerly awaiting this episode. So I know she's. She's probably walking right now in her long winter coat and her headphones, listening to these words and waiting with bated breath for what you think and you think of Leanne Morgan. Now she. She knows what I think, and I'll withhold that, but she's very eager to know what you guys think of her. She predicts you will hate Leanne Morgan based on your previous reviews. Now, I'm going to need a little bit of a refresher because it's been months since I've watched this program. I did watch it with her together. She loved it. My w Right off the bat, I want to tell you how much she loved Leanne Morgan's latest special, Unspeakable Things. [00:22:25] Speaker C: I can't tell if this is a bit or not. [00:22:27] Speaker A: What do you mean? [00:22:29] Speaker C: I think this is a setup. For what? I don't know. You're trying to pull something. No, there's no way that's true. [00:22:35] Speaker A: I'm trying to heighten the, you know, the suspense, maybe, or up the enthusiasm for it. And I will offer my thoughts. I'm saying my wife loved it. I'm not saying what I. I understand. She loved it. She laughed throughout. I rubbed her feet while she watched it with me on the couch. And I just look over. She's just smiling the whole time, if not laughing out loud. So she loved it. And she wants to know what you think. Leanne Morgan, Unspeakable Things on Netflix. Go ahead. [00:23:06] Speaker B: What? [00:23:06] Speaker A: Review away. I don't know. [00:23:08] Speaker B: Do you want me to do a bit by bit, breakdown or me sum up with one word? [00:23:13] Speaker A: Well, no, no, no. Save that for the end. So let's just. Let's do treacle. Just, you know, small talk about it. Wilmington, North Carolina. [00:23:23] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:23:23] Speaker A: This took place. [00:23:25] Speaker C: Yeah. You know that. Because she mentioned it 16 times. [00:23:27] Speaker A: Is she from there? I didn't get into that. [00:23:30] Speaker B: No, she's from East Tennessee. [00:23:32] Speaker A: Right, right, right, right. Knoxville around there. [00:23:34] Speaker B: And is my. I did get my misses to watch it with me. Oh, really? That was part of your instruction? [00:23:41] Speaker A: I wanted you to. [00:23:42] Speaker B: Yes. [00:23:43] Speaker A: So I got some bad feedback on that. [00:23:44] Speaker B: So she was annoyed out of the gate, as was I. With the accent. Oh, my God. And she's. And she was like, that is not an East Tennessee accent. That is heavily caked on. It's. [00:23:59] Speaker A: How does Heather. How is Heather an authority on Southern accents? Oh, she's got the Memphis contingent. That's true. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So she knows this. [00:24:09] Speaker B: She's lived in Tennessee. [00:24:11] Speaker A: She's saying that Leanne Morgan is doing a fake accent. [00:24:14] Speaker B: She's saying she's heightening the accent. [00:24:16] Speaker A: Like Larry the Cable Guy. [00:24:17] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:24:18] Speaker A: Oh, I had a really good impression. [00:24:19] Speaker C: Right. [00:24:19] Speaker A: If we had done this, you know, weeks ago, I was really doing it, like. But go ahead. Okay. So the accent, she feels, is trumped up. [00:24:27] Speaker B: Yep. And, you know, the whole. My baby girl, my baby girl. My. My cookie lumps. My. I mean, she kept coming up with these tweets. Why did a entire family have to be involved in this goddamn thing? [00:24:41] Speaker C: Right Right out of the gate. Please introduce to the stage my mom. [00:24:45] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:24:46] Speaker C: Nauseating. I. Right away. [00:24:48] Speaker B: And then the Funny thing, you know. [00:24:50] Speaker A: The funny thing is we've seen that before. [00:24:52] Speaker B: The whole thing. The whole thing. [00:24:54] Speaker C: Either. [00:24:54] Speaker B: The whole time I'm thinking, a face looks like a smacked ass. Like, it's like red. Red. [00:25:00] Speaker A: A lot of room on her cheeks. [00:25:02] Speaker B: And a lot of rouge. And I'm thinking, surely the director said you can't go out of there with that face like a smacked ass. And then she says, oh, my, my, my baby. My baby girl doll cakes, Snooky lumps does the. Does my makeup. And I was like, also, no one. No one had the ball. Yeah. To tell her, right, your makeup looks like shite. [00:25:27] Speaker A: It's terrible. [00:25:28] Speaker B: Because her daughter had done it and she was just gonna go out. [00:25:33] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. So you're not liking it right off the bat. You don't like her appearance. You don't like her accent. She talks like her family being involved. [00:25:42] Speaker B: There's a 10 minutes about some movie shoot with absolutely no payoff. [00:25:47] Speaker C: Nothing. [00:25:48] Speaker B: No payoff. [00:25:49] Speaker A: Witherspoon movie thing. [00:25:50] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:25:50] Speaker C: Pandering to the audience. [00:25:52] Speaker B: No payoff whatsoever. In that. [00:25:54] Speaker A: Is Reese Witherspoon from Wilmington or something gives a shit? I'm just trying connect the dots. [00:25:59] Speaker C: She's just trying to say, who, like these famous people, Reese Witherspoon and Will Ferrell, you know, and this is name dropping. And, you know, Tom Cruise has a big head and skinny legs and my breasts are getting low, you know, just like right out of the gate with all this, like, what does this has to do with anything? And Reese Witherspoon's head was next to one of my breasts. And I realized that her. You know. What are you talking about? [00:26:20] Speaker A: I kind of liked that meta approach of talking about her last special and she saying she watched her last special and her breasts were hanging low and all. I like that, you know, saying I'm not above watching my own. Because you always hear somebody say, I don't watch my own movies. I don't watch my special. She's saying, I watched it. [00:26:35] Speaker C: Where's the joke? [00:26:36] Speaker B: Yeah, but where's the payoff? Where's the joke? [00:26:40] Speaker A: Well, the joke is about her breasts getting so fat. [00:26:43] Speaker C: She said there was no punchline. She just said, that's what's happening. [00:26:47] Speaker B: Okay, all right. Let me walk on stage tonight and go, I'm a slap head. [00:26:53] Speaker A: Ah, that's funny. And then self deprecating. She's being self deprecating. [00:26:59] Speaker B: Self deprecating Isn't funny pathetic without. [00:27:01] Speaker C: Yeah, without a punchline. [00:27:03] Speaker A: How many comedians, their whole act is. [00:27:04] Speaker C: Self deprecating with Punchlines though. [00:27:06] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. Now listen, she's 59 years old. Yeah, yeah, I'd say she looks damn good. You guys think Joan Rivers is attractive? I find Leanne Morgan very attractive. [00:27:25] Speaker B: All right, Someone. Someone's bull. [00:27:27] Speaker A: I'm not. [00:27:28] Speaker C: This, this bit is. [00:27:30] Speaker A: No, this is not a bit. [00:27:31] Speaker C: No, I know this. Yes. I don't. Fuck off. [00:27:33] Speaker A: This is not a bit. No, listen, I find this woman very attractive. [00:27:36] Speaker C: Bullshit. [00:27:38] Speaker A: What do I stand again by saying that my wife's gonna skewer me for this when she hears it? I like a woman in her 50s. I'm just attracted to 50 year old women. Even when I was a boy in school, I was always attracted to like a 55 year old woman. So right now, being married to a woman in her 50s, it's like the greatest sexual error of my life. [00:28:03] Speaker B: Did you used to go to Grab a Granny Night at the local nightclub that night? [00:28:07] Speaker A: No, I didn't know they had sex. [00:28:09] Speaker C: What is this Grab a Granny Night? [00:28:10] Speaker A: I don't like grannies. I'm not granny. 55 is not great. Although some 50 could be. She could be a granny. I'm not into grannies. Yeah, but I find her to be very attractive. And yeah, I don't want to go into many more details, but yeah, Grab. [00:28:25] Speaker B: A Granny night was when your local nightclub did like an over, you know, 30s over 25s night to keep all the young pops out. But young, young men would try and get into score with an older woman. We call it Grab a Granny Night. [00:28:42] Speaker A: Did you ever grab yourself a granny when you're eight? [00:28:45] Speaker B: I couldn't get into nightclubs till I was the legit age. 18. So small. Yeah, but like, oh, no, I'm getting girp again. [00:28:55] Speaker A: You got girp again. I gotta pay attention. Yeah, I'm gonna see if I notice. Have you been struggling with girp? [00:29:03] Speaker B: I do one in this store. In this. [00:29:05] Speaker A: In this room. You get cold in here. It activates your girp. Okay, so. All right, but you know, I've seen a lot of this family member introduce. I was just having to be watching Marcelo Hernandez. You familiar with Marcelo Hernandez? He's popping up on the Netflix. So I let that roll the other day and his mother introduced him, Right? Sam Kinison's mother did a little introduction in 1984, whenever it was 87. So let's not hate on Leanne for involving. I think Nate Bargazzi did it too. Didn't Nate Bargazi's kid come out and introduce? All right, so, but you want to pick on Leanne Morgan. [00:29:39] Speaker C: I'm not saying I like your other times either. [00:29:41] Speaker A: I think you probably enjoyed this. But you're gonna rail it just to. [00:29:45] Speaker B: Get at me now I'm changing it from trashy to trite. It's trite now? [00:29:53] Speaker A: It's trite. [00:29:54] Speaker C: Agreed. [00:29:55] Speaker A: I'll agree with that. My daughter and my daughter walked in the room while we were watching it and said, you know, this is early in the first 15 minutes or so. She said, oh, my God, she's so confident, this woman. Did you find she had a good confidence on stage? [00:30:14] Speaker B: No. [00:30:14] Speaker A: No more than command and confidence and gravitas, I guess. [00:30:19] Speaker C: Yeah, I could see a confidence. [00:30:21] Speaker A: I mean, strong presence. Stage presence. [00:30:23] Speaker B: No more than that of an average comedian. [00:30:26] Speaker C: Right. [00:30:26] Speaker A: Okay, well, she's. [00:30:28] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:30:29] Speaker A: For. For a 13 year old. How old is my daughter? 15 year old girl. To walk in and watch this girl. This woman on stage and say, this woman's confident, that's she's taking notice of something. Strong female personality. [00:30:43] Speaker C: Did she say and funny? [00:30:44] Speaker A: No, she didn't say that. She didn't say that. [00:30:47] Speaker B: All right, let me do. I'll put. Put some sugar on the salt here. One thing I did like is how she just referred to her husband as Chuck Morgan all the time. [00:30:57] Speaker A: The full name Chuck Morgan. [00:30:59] Speaker B: It took me a while to work out. She kept saying, Chuck Morgan, this Chuck Morgan. And I was like, oh, yeah, it's her husband. [00:31:04] Speaker C: I thought I'd missed something. I had to look up who he was. [00:31:06] Speaker B: Yeah, that's the affectation. I sort of thought that was. Okay, but quick inventory. Claremont Lounge. Okay. Bit Southern California, bit crap cbd. Bit weak. Huge hands. She must have had. [00:31:24] Speaker A: She has huge hands. [00:31:26] Speaker B: Yeah. Daughter JLO bit. Okay. Iud. Okay. [00:31:33] Speaker C: Speaking of the JLO thing, before you go too far past it, I want to know what you guys think about this. She said, I read in People magazine that JLO eats a lot of salmon. And people laughed for three minutes. What were they laughing at? [00:31:49] Speaker A: What they're laughing. I don't know if they're laughing at this, but what she's able to do is make the connection with the everyday person by reading People magazine, by watching herself on tv. [00:31:57] Speaker B: She. [00:31:58] Speaker A: People relate and connect to that. Okay, so there's salt of the earth. [00:32:01] Speaker C: So it's not a joke. [00:32:02] Speaker A: It's just a. I don't know. Yeah, people are laughing. [00:32:04] Speaker C: I get it. [00:32:08] Speaker A: I thought the IUD meal train joke was pretty good. Getting a meal trained for having an IUD put in. Okay, the meal train, you see that a lot with people with kids, someone gets sick, they put together a meal train for them. [00:32:21] Speaker B: I did feel like she was from another world that I'm not really interested in. [00:32:27] Speaker C: There was a lot I didn't understand. I even wrote down the meal train thing. What is a meal training? Yeah, I can. I can figure it out. [00:32:33] Speaker B: But the arrest story's okay. I did put a good one. Another family in Idaho. [00:32:43] Speaker A: It's been so long I don't remember another family. And. Oh, the Chuck Morgan has another family in Idaho. [00:32:48] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:32:49] Speaker A: Yeah. Well, that's a common trope about men, businessmen who are traveling a lot that they would have another family somewhere. You know, and as a housewife, she. Housewives. [00:32:59] Speaker C: Because she said that fear. [00:33:01] Speaker A: Yeah, he would. [00:33:01] Speaker C: He would. He would say, oh, I thought I told you this already. [00:33:04] Speaker A: Right. [00:33:05] Speaker C: And she said, you must be telling your other. [00:33:06] Speaker B: Right. [00:33:07] Speaker C: Family these things that you think you're telling me. [00:33:10] Speaker A: Yeah. Okay. That's. That's your review of the bits. [00:33:15] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:33:15] Speaker A: I could see if you. If you weren't middle aged and had kids and dealing with kids on a daily basis, a lot of this material is. You don't give a about it. Right. But if you do have kids and you are a middle aged parent, then yeah, you relate to a lot of. [00:33:30] Speaker B: I put the shoes of Loretta Sweat lookalike. [00:33:34] Speaker A: Were you hot? I was not. I was not. [00:33:37] Speaker B: MASH days. [00:33:39] Speaker A: Not really. I didn't like her personality. Very brash. Loretta Sweat. But I can see that. I can see her. She favors a Loretta Sweat. Loretta Sweat is dead, by the way. [00:33:50] Speaker C: Oh. [00:33:53] Speaker A: Hot Lips hooligan. Houlahan from Mash. The show Mash. [00:33:57] Speaker C: Oh, okay. [00:33:58] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. [00:33:59] Speaker B: Who was Hot Lips in the MASH film? [00:34:01] Speaker A: Sally Kellerman, who you might remember from the film Back to School with Rodney Dangerfield as his love interest. [00:34:10] Speaker B: Sally Kellerman was in a lot of stuff with the husky voice. She had a look to her that was definitely good. [00:34:18] Speaker A: Now you might be thinking of, you know, that is Sally Kellerman. But there was another blonde bombshell that was in the Police Academy movies. Her name's escaping me now that. That she's often confused with Sally Kellerman. Damn. What the hell's her name? [00:34:37] Speaker B: The big last. [00:34:38] Speaker A: Big last with a big. Remember her in Police Academy with a big shelf of breast. [00:34:44] Speaker B: They. [00:34:45] Speaker A: Sally Kirkland. [00:34:46] Speaker B: Yeah. And then Kim Cattrall was in the first Police Academy. [00:34:50] Speaker A: She was. [00:34:51] Speaker B: Forget about. [00:34:52] Speaker A: You do forget about that. Yeah. [00:34:53] Speaker B: First one. [00:34:54] Speaker A: Some people refer to her as Kim Cattrall. [00:34:56] Speaker B: Well. [00:34:57] Speaker A: Oh, now you know who. Yeah, I know. [00:34:59] Speaker C: You're talking about Catrell. [00:35:00] Speaker B: She was Born in Liverpool, so. Oh, she was Kim Cattrall. Yeah. [00:35:05] Speaker A: Really? She's a. She's a native Great Britainer. [00:35:09] Speaker B: Well, she's not native, but she was born in Liverpool, so I don't know when she left. [00:35:12] Speaker A: So is she an army brat? [00:35:13] Speaker B: What I'm saying is, however I pronounce it is correct by default. [00:35:18] Speaker A: Okay, I'll defer on that. [00:35:23] Speaker C: Okay. [00:35:23] Speaker A: Well, I don't know if it's the elephant in the room or for all of us, I guess we started talking about religion. Really peppered in this act, isn't it? Praise God, Holy spirit, Bible study, Satan, biblical ark, sin, prayer, Lord. I'm just writing down all the religious words that she used throughout her act. Very Christian. It's a very Christian act. [00:35:53] Speaker C: Yeah, it's very clean. [00:35:56] Speaker A: Did she swear at all? [00:35:57] Speaker C: No, she. I was noticing that she works very clean. [00:36:01] Speaker A: No. Swears like a bargazzi. Like a squeaky clean Christian bargazzi. Female bargazzi. But she does she. Maybe she doesn't use swears, but she does talk about shagging. [00:36:14] Speaker C: She does. [00:36:14] Speaker A: Chuck Morgan. [00:36:16] Speaker C: She does now. [00:36:18] Speaker A: You had to. I hope you didn't look. Look up Chuck Morgan before he came out on the stage. [00:36:24] Speaker C: I did. [00:36:24] Speaker B: You did. [00:36:25] Speaker A: You had to. [00:36:25] Speaker C: Yes. [00:36:26] Speaker A: You had to see what? Chuck. [00:36:27] Speaker C: The first time she said Chuck Morgan, I thought, what? Who is this guy? No, I had my laptop up. I was doing real research. [00:36:33] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:36:33] Speaker A: Were you surprised by the look of Chuck Morgan? [00:36:36] Speaker C: Not really. [00:36:37] Speaker A: No. That's what you thought? [00:36:39] Speaker C: I figured, yeah. [00:36:40] Speaker B: If you. If. If you just said, draw her family before they walk out on stage, that's what I would have drawn. [00:36:46] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:36:47] Speaker B: It's funny you said, did I lock him up? I have to watch stuff now. I deliberately leave my phone in another room because I got this disease where if I'm watching a film or something, I just can't stop. Like, oh, who's this? I spend half. If my phone is next to me and I'm watching a film or anything at all, I'll spend half the goddamn time going, what was that guy in again? Yeah, So I think. [00:37:16] Speaker A: And then you miss half of what you're watching because you're in the phone. [00:37:18] Speaker B: Yesterday I watched Jim Jarmusch is Down by Law for the first time. [00:37:22] Speaker A: Love that movie. [00:37:23] Speaker B: First time ever. Huge John Moosh fan, happened to be on tv. What did I spend half the fucking film doing on its goddamn Wikipedia? Reading trivia about the film that I'm meant to be watching? [00:37:39] Speaker C: You know what? You know, it's good for that, Mark, because I used to do the same thing until I started to put my phone on a chair across the room, upside down, you know, face down, so I couldn't see it. After you watch the film. I know you're not a podcast fan, but there are always podcasts out there about the film that will fill you in and all the questions that you might have. And those are a good listen because you'll learn a lot about the film you just watched. There's one called Rewatchables that I would recommend. [00:38:02] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, Is that Bill Simmons? [00:38:03] Speaker C: Yes. [00:38:04] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Heard about that. [00:38:05] Speaker C: Yeah, I like to watch. I just watched When Harry Met Sally for the first time. And I'll immediately go back and then listen to the rewatchables, and I'll find out, did they do this one? [00:38:13] Speaker A: See, that's what we were hoping for for this show that people will watch. Comedy special. [00:38:17] Speaker B: Let's go. [00:38:17] Speaker A: I got to know what Mark Geary thinks about this guy. [00:38:20] Speaker B: So all of those people out there watching the Gallagher special this week, which could be tens of thousands of people, so should now be listening to our podcast about it. [00:38:32] Speaker A: So explain this a little further, Christian, because you seem dialed in on this. You watch something and then there's a link to podcasts, or you then type in, no, I'll watch. [00:38:44] Speaker C: It can go two directions. One, I'll watch a classic film, and then afterwards, I'll look up, has rewatchables covered this one? And I'll listen to that specifically. Specifically to Rewatchables, because I know they do a good job. Or if they come out with a new episode and I'm looking for a movie to watch, I'll watch whatever movie they just reviewed. If I haven't seen that film, I'll watch that one and then listen to them talk about it. [00:39:05] Speaker A: Got it. Got it. Well, we can only hope to be that one day to people in the comedy community. [00:39:09] Speaker C: That's the goal. [00:39:10] Speaker A: Yeah, we'll get there. Yeah, maybe. Yeah, we keep plugging away. [00:39:14] Speaker B: I do put the name of the person and the name of the special in the tags. [00:39:19] Speaker A: Is there a link, like, if they clicked on, it would take them to the special? Yeah, there is. [00:39:23] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:39:23] Speaker A: That's good work. [00:39:24] Speaker B: I mean, if it. If it's doable, but, I mean, they would have. I. I don't think that link carries forward to. If it gets repeated on, you know, itunes, it doesn't carry the hot link. It's meaningless. But on the actual page. Yeah, you can click the link and go to it. If it's good YouTube or whatever. [00:39:45] Speaker A: Tech, High tech. So I didn't. Despite being very, you know, God fearing man. I don't want to hear about any of that biblical. Yeah, I don't want to hear about any of that religion. [00:39:58] Speaker C: Yeah, I was the same. [00:39:59] Speaker A: I want my comedy, my religion separate. Although I didn't mind it with Sam Kinison when he talked about it. [00:40:03] Speaker C: But that's different, though, because he was a preacher, you know, he had more of like an inside look at it. [00:40:09] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah. All right. Anything else you want to say about Ms. Morgan? Oft confused with Leanne Rimes. Leanne Rogers. Dion Rogers. Dion Cole. Before we do our final reviews here. And I'm excited. [00:40:36] Speaker C: Anything I would say just be piling on too. [00:40:38] Speaker B: Yeah, I mean, I've got, you know, in my bit inventory, I've got week, week. Okay. Okay. Good, good. No payoff. No payoff. Not bad. [00:40:47] Speaker C: I actually wrote down what did we do to Bill that he'd make us watch the Mama versus Grandmama jokes. [00:40:54] Speaker A: Yeah, listen. [00:40:57] Speaker B: Repeated confused look of mugging to the camera. [00:41:02] Speaker A: I didn't like her mugging. Yeah. I didn't think she was good at mugging. I had to watch this. You understand, right, what we do. My wife, loving it, constantly showing me Leanne Morgan clips on Instagram or whatever. [00:41:18] Speaker C: Yeah. I can wrap my head around it. [00:41:19] Speaker A: Yeah. I had to do this for my home life, you know, to get this one done. [00:41:24] Speaker C: In my notes, I start swearing at one point, you know, just like you can see, like, I start getting annoyed. I wrote, there's still 25 minutes left at one point in all big capital letters across the page. I couldn't believe it. [00:41:36] Speaker A: Yeah, my wife's something of a, you know, comedy philistine, as you can imagine, enjoying something like this. But it was nice for me to sit with my wife and watch comedy together. I don't know if it was for you and your Mrs. Did you watch this alone? [00:41:49] Speaker C: I did. [00:41:50] Speaker A: Okay. So that was nice to share that. It was nice to see her laughing and enjoying it while I was next to her. So often I drag her to things that she doesn't want to see and to finally put a critical eye on Leanne Morgan. And despite my enthusiasm at the beginning of our program here about her and everything, I also think that she's shite. Okay, I'm not playing any kind of game here. Just trying to trump up some enthusiasm for the lady. But I will say this. She's a pro. She's worked in this business a long time. She commands the stage. Even a 15 year old can come out and say, that woman's confident. She's got a nice act. I like the act is in my wheelhouse in terms of the material and where I am in my life. I think she wins over a lot of people that are middle aged with kids and things like that. It's a nice act. [00:42:46] Speaker B: It's clean. [00:42:48] Speaker A: I'm not gonna hate on it. [00:42:49] Speaker C: You didn't feel like she had her Netflix special that was popular and then they were like, let's do another one. Probably she just talked about her husband the whole time. It's like listening to a teenager talking about their boyfriend that they're obsessed with. You know, it's like I was stuck in a 65 minute conversation at a party I couldn't get out of. [00:43:05] Speaker A: Yeah, maybe. I'm sure there's a better special. [00:43:09] Speaker B: Probably it got her to a sitcom. That's probably what. [00:43:12] Speaker A: Yeah, she got a sitcom, right? [00:43:13] Speaker B: She was. [00:43:13] Speaker C: Oh, did she? [00:43:14] Speaker B: Yeah, she's like the new, you know, the new Brett Butler. The new. [00:43:18] Speaker A: She's with somebody pretty big in the sitcom. [00:43:20] Speaker B: Yeah. I think it's called Leanne, but I'm like, well, she's second fiddle in it. That's kind of weird. Yeah. [00:43:27] Speaker A: There's a bigger name attached to maybe Cat. I don't know. [00:43:32] Speaker B: I have to look that up, but Cat Williams. [00:43:34] Speaker A: Yeah. Her and Cat Williams in a show together. [00:43:36] Speaker C: That'd be good. [00:43:38] Speaker A: That's not a bad idea. That might be awesome. [00:43:41] Speaker B: Salt. Like sweet and salty. [00:43:43] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah. [00:43:44] Speaker A: Sweet and salty. Ebony and Ivory. I did notice this before we do final reviews, which are all going to be bad when they pan the crowd. A lot of blue hairs in this audience. [00:43:56] Speaker C: Yes. Old people. Yes. [00:43:59] Speaker A: It was like they. [00:44:00] Speaker C: The whole audience. [00:44:01] Speaker A: A bus from a retirement home. [00:44:02] Speaker C: I was wondering if there's going to be a standing ovation. I was doubting it because, you know, hard to stand up. [00:44:07] Speaker A: They weren't getting up. All right, well, I give it. Out of four. Out of four Chuck Morgans. I give it. I'll give it to Chuck Morgans. [00:44:27] Speaker B: Is so. Is more. Chuck Morgan's good. Or we're into that quote. Humble again. [00:44:33] Speaker A: More is always better. If you. If you loved this special. Leanne Morgan. Unspeakable things. [00:44:40] Speaker B: I did like. [00:44:40] Speaker A: And maybe that, you know, I did like how she said I had to do unspeakable things to Chuck Morgan. Like. What is she talking about? [00:44:46] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:44:47] Speaker A: She leaves a lot to the imagination. [00:44:49] Speaker B: That's a cat. [00:44:49] Speaker C: What does she do? [00:44:50] Speaker B: I'm guessing that's catchphrase. [00:44:51] Speaker A: That was her. Yeah, that was her Catchphrase for this. Anyway. She really lets you the mind go, what? Her and Chuck Morgan are doing unspeakable things like what a dirty bird she is. Chuck Morgan, Yes. Maybe. You know, that's why when he waltzed. [00:45:07] Speaker C: Out, that's a big. [00:45:08] Speaker A: Lots of bra pot on him. I was like, yeah, it's kind of unspeakable things you're doing with this. [00:45:12] Speaker C: He's full of broth. [00:45:13] Speaker A: Yeah, you get a belly full of broth. The pot on that guy, Chuck Morgan. But then they showed the pictures, right? Like the. Of them, like in the kids and the skiing through the years with Chuck Morgan. [00:45:26] Speaker B: She was hot in the 80s. Yeah, I'll give her that. Those. Those college pictures. Yeah, she had it going then. [00:45:33] Speaker A: Where'd she go to? University of Tennessee or something, I think. Yeah, that's where I picked her up. She talked about being a boozy. Yeah, sorority girl and everything. I prefer her now to then her age. Her vintage now is rouged cheekbones. Yeah. I like a woman in her 50s, like my salad days, who's in her. [00:45:56] Speaker B: 50S right now, you know, because I was mentioning down by law. I always thought Ellen Barkin was hot in that. Like in a sort of weirder way, you know what I mean? Like a renaissance. [00:46:09] Speaker A: She's. Yeah, A sexy woman, like they call it. [00:46:12] Speaker B: Unconventionally. [00:46:14] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. [00:46:14] Speaker B: And I was like, I wonder how old Ellen Barkin is now. But she's in the 70s now. [00:46:19] Speaker A: Yeah, she's no spring trick. [00:46:21] Speaker B: Do you remember the remake of D.O.A. she did hot in that. I think it was Dennis. [00:46:28] Speaker A: Dennis Quaid. Yeah, yeah, I was gonna say Dennis Quaid vaguely. Remember that Sea of Love with Al Pacino. [00:46:33] Speaker B: Oh, boy, I didn't see that. [00:46:35] Speaker A: Oh, you haven't? No, man, go watch that. [00:46:40] Speaker B: All right. Yeah, we keep getting. God, we're like dirty old middle aged men. [00:46:45] Speaker A: I know, it's gross. [00:46:47] Speaker B: Gross. [00:46:48] Speaker A: No, a dirty. A dirty old man would be an old man. How about this young thing? But I don't. I don't go for any of those young girls. I like girls my age or a little older. [00:47:01] Speaker B: Grab a Granny night. [00:47:03] Speaker A: No, not a granny's. I don't like granny. [00:47:04] Speaker B: Bill o'. Donnell. Come down. Come down to the Sapphire nightclub. It's Grab a Granny night. Bill o' Donnell on the deck. [00:47:14] Speaker A: Nope, nope, nope. I could be a grandfather soon, though. That's good. You know, it's in the cards. I have children that make love. [00:47:25] Speaker B: Yeah, you've got a couple of wild cards in the pack. [00:47:30] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, could be any day. I get that. Notice. Okay. I give it two out of four Chuck Morgans. You give it how many Chuck Morgans? Four being the best. [00:47:41] Speaker B: I give it half a sweet cake. Sweet baby cakes. [00:47:45] Speaker A: So you give it half a sweet baby. [00:47:47] Speaker B: Here's the best I can give it. It's not as bad as Brett Weinstein. [00:47:51] Speaker A: Oh. [00:47:52] Speaker B: Oh. That was the new bit I was gonna do. [00:47:54] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. You were gonna do the Brett Weinstein meter. She does not. She does not. It's not worse than Brett. [00:48:01] Speaker B: So you giving it the thumbs down? [00:48:04] Speaker A: I got. [00:48:04] Speaker C: I got a whole thing. All right. This was the worst comedy special I've ever seen. [00:48:10] Speaker B: Now we gotta do the bit. [00:48:11] Speaker C: I think this is the worst comedy special ever made. As a matter of fact, Bill, you brought gifts for us today. I. Bro. And it's a certificate of achievement. [00:48:20] Speaker A: Oh. [00:48:20] Speaker C: William O' Donnell Jr. For successfully recommending the worst comedy special ever made. And there's. [00:48:27] Speaker A: He really does have a certificate. [00:48:29] Speaker C: I've signed it down here. Mark, I didn't want to leave you out, so I left an area for you to sign it if you want to sign it. [00:48:34] Speaker A: No, he's not signing. He gave it a half a chart. [00:48:36] Speaker C: Well, Mark, do you want to sign this or not? [00:48:39] Speaker A: No, because you said it wasn't as bad as Weinstein. [00:48:41] Speaker C: Don't decide for him. [00:48:43] Speaker A: Let Mark make his own decision. Brett Goldstein. Well, he already said I'm not making a decision. You're trying to coerce his vote. [00:48:50] Speaker C: I need to know before I put it in this frame. [00:48:55] Speaker A: Oh, can we put that up in here? [00:48:56] Speaker C: Yes. [00:48:56] Speaker A: I can mean to bring a clock. [00:48:58] Speaker B: Into it, because the. The bit is when that's great, when we get something that's unanimously bad or unanimously good, we then have to debate. Okay. Is this the worst or the best ever? Right. [00:49:13] Speaker A: Yep. [00:49:13] Speaker B: So we're in unanimously bad territory, but it's a group decision. Is this now the worst one? Now, you don't think this is Goldstein bad? [00:49:26] Speaker A: No, no, I don't. I don't think this is good. I don't think this is bad. It's. That's why I gave it to Chuck Morgan's challenging Goldstein. [00:49:36] Speaker B: No, not even close. [00:49:38] Speaker A: I could see why you would say that. Right. I just kind of. You know, I don't want to go rehash it all again, but I could see it in the same vein as a Weinstein or Goldstein. But, no, I'm not putting it there, because, no, his is. This woman is a working comedian for 30 years. She's a pro. She's more in the line of Larry the cable guy. [00:50:05] Speaker B: How come no one had even heard of her till 2024? [00:50:09] Speaker A: I don't know. [00:50:09] Speaker B: You keep pushing this working comedian thing. [00:50:12] Speaker A: She's been working. [00:50:13] Speaker B: She's a working comedian. I've heard of her, and I have not heard of her. [00:50:17] Speaker A: Well, you don't know everybody. Just because she didn't, you know, audition for the 2004 Chicago Comedy Festival. I mean, you should know her. [00:50:30] Speaker C: When did she find time? She never had. She doesn't have a single story in her whole thing about ever doing stand up comedy between the soccer games and. And raising the children in the ski trips. [00:50:39] Speaker A: Well, maybe it requires more. Whatever. I still don't put her on the same plane as Goldstein. [00:50:44] Speaker B: It was just. Yeah, no, so you're definitely put in a sub Goldstein. [00:50:50] Speaker C: I've already signed the certificate. Yeah. [00:50:52] Speaker B: All right. [00:50:53] Speaker A: We're hanging that up in here. No matter what. [00:50:54] Speaker B: I love. [00:50:55] Speaker A: I love that you did. Yeah. [00:50:56] Speaker C: So I just need to know if Mark's going to sign it or not. Cuz I'll cross your name out if you aren't going to sign it. [00:51:01] Speaker A: I'm not going to. Not you. [00:51:02] Speaker C: I'm talking to Mark. [00:51:03] Speaker A: Is there a spot for my name on there. [00:51:06] Speaker C: Being awarded to you? [00:51:07] Speaker A: Okay. [00:51:07] Speaker C: Your name is in big letters here. [00:51:10] Speaker A: Yeah, you did. You did like the Chuck Morgan material. You did say you like that. [00:51:16] Speaker C: Stop trying to coerce him. [00:51:17] Speaker B: I can't. You're co. [00:51:18] Speaker C: I'm not coing him. [00:51:19] Speaker B: I cannot honestly say. This is worse than Goldstein, which I couldn't get through, so I'm afraid I'm not going on. [00:51:27] Speaker C: That's fine. I expected that. I will cross your name out, but. [00:51:31] Speaker A: Can we still hang it up in here? [00:51:32] Speaker C: Oh, absolutely. I brought the frame for a reason. [00:51:34] Speaker A: Well, that's awesome. Very cool. All right, well, I'm anxious. I don't even know who's picking our next special. Is it you or is it Mark's turn? But before you do, say who it is, there's a lot of buzz out here. I was reading this morning in the newspaper about Ricky Gervais and him being awarded the Golden Globe for Best Comedy Special. [00:52:03] Speaker C: Really? [00:52:03] Speaker A: When universally, at least, according to this article, it's an awful, awful special. So I don't know what the politics are behind that, him getting that award, but like to take a look at that. And I also want to put on your calendar October 28th at our United Center, a little comedian going to be performing by the name of Matt Rife. [00:52:27] Speaker C: Oh, boy. [00:52:28] Speaker A: Go to the see him at the United Center. Do crowd work. [00:52:34] Speaker B: Matt Rife 30, 000 people. Watch your job. Nope, not happening. [00:52:39] Speaker A: Okay. So not so. Those are. Oh, that's awesome. [00:52:42] Speaker C: My sister actually drew these. This guy. [00:52:44] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:52:45] Speaker C: Tomato at the bottom. [00:52:46] Speaker A: Wow. That's hand drawn. [00:52:48] Speaker C: No, it was a text. She did it on her phone. I told her a bad joke. [00:52:52] Speaker A: That's impressive. That's really cool. Well done, Christian. [00:52:56] Speaker C: Well, thank you. [00:52:58] Speaker A: And even put William O' Donnell Jr. On there. Yeah, that's nice. That should be in my home. [00:53:03] Speaker C: I feel like I can make more copies. [00:53:06] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. [00:53:06] Speaker A: Make me look another copy of that. That's an office. I'll put that up at work and they'll be like what the. It looks like from afar I received. I don't have many awards. [00:53:15] Speaker C: You really did achieve something this time for you. [00:53:17] Speaker A: I'm. I'm glad I did. [00:53:18] Speaker B: Did. [00:53:18] Speaker A: It's remarkable. [00:53:20] Speaker B: Did. So am I choosing or not? Yeah, you just overrode that. [00:53:24] Speaker A: No, I just wanted to try and. [00:53:25] Speaker B: Influence your well in text. I had floated the two hour epic cold Lasagna Hate Myself by James Acaster and I. I heard a universal side. [00:53:40] Speaker A: You didn't hear anything. I thought you were. I didn't think you were serious. [00:53:43] Speaker C: I was working on the switch. I was doing electric work. I my phone. [00:53:46] Speaker B: So what are we doing? [00:53:47] Speaker C: Put away. [00:53:47] Speaker B: Don't is too much. [00:53:49] Speaker C: No, I'll do it. [00:53:50] Speaker B: Well, because here's the thing. No, it's not available. You have to buy it for £8 which is 12 whole dollars from a streaming service. [00:54:01] Speaker A: Is this guy great British? [00:54:03] Speaker B: Yes. [00:54:04] Speaker A: Okay, so I got to get the Brit box for this. [00:54:06] Speaker B: No, no, you say you have. The only place to get it is to go to his website. [00:54:11] Speaker A: I'm not paying eight pounds for this asshole. [00:54:14] Speaker C: Well then we have a watch party. [00:54:16] Speaker A: Yeah, let's have a watch party. [00:54:17] Speaker B: We can't do it then. You know what's funny is there's a two hour and there's a 40 minute of stuff that didn't make it into the two hour edit. So there's two hours. 40 minutes is what. [00:54:34] Speaker C: Oh, that's a supposed. That's. That's pretty long now. [00:54:37] Speaker B: I'm not saying we watch the 40. [00:54:39] Speaker C: I understand. [00:54:40] Speaker B: Bonus. But are you. Are you up? [00:54:43] Speaker A: I don't. Have you ever heard of this man before? James Acaster? [00:54:46] Speaker C: No. [00:54:47] Speaker B: Well, part of the reason I pick it is he did the tour at the Lincoln Lodge when it was at the Newport. [00:54:53] Speaker C: Really? [00:54:53] Speaker B: And I told you the whole anecdote about what happened in the second show. That he did. You did? Yeah. Do you remember I said, an agent called Means, like, you got to book this guy. He's British, and blah, blah, blah. And I said, never fucking heard of him. Not going to sell a ticket. [00:55:09] Speaker C: Yes. [00:55:09] Speaker B: And then it sold out in three minutes. We did the first show. He just blew the doors off of it. We did the second show. He got into it with an audience member who tried to leave the venue by going onto the stage and through the curtain. No, at Newport, which obviously, I know. [00:55:27] Speaker C: Who you're talking about. Then. I was at one of his shows. I remember a British guy who I'd never heard of. Yeah, I just, like. It was. It was when some other people were running it and they were just like, yeah, come on in. The house was packed. [00:55:44] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:55:45] Speaker C: Yeah. And I had a couple friends going in who. Like who. I have no idea who this guy is. So. I know. I think. [00:55:49] Speaker A: I don't remember that story, but I. [00:55:51] Speaker C: Think I know who you're talking about. I think I remember that show at Newport. [00:55:55] Speaker B: Anyway, that's part of it, is that that tour was it thing. But he's very highly thought of. It's two hours. It's a commitment of money and time. [00:56:06] Speaker A: It's your choice by hook or crook. We'll find a way to watch it. Yeah, and I'll complain about the eight pounds. [00:56:12] Speaker C: I'll pay 12 bucks. [00:56:14] Speaker B: All right. And then if we want to do a double header. Oh, no. Because you would pick the second half. But we have talked about Rory Scoville. Try stand up for the first time. [00:56:25] Speaker A: Who's Rory Scoville? The name is.

I'm guessing you've seen that. I've already seen it. [00:56:51] Speaker C: I don't think so. Can you say the. Can you tell me the name of the James A. Caster one again? I can't write that fast.
